title: Electrofusion of oriented Schizosaccharomyces pombe cells through apical protoplast-protuberances.
abstract: The electrofusion of oriented Schizosaccharomyces pombe cells through apical protoplast-protuberances was demonstrated. The protuberances arose after an exposure of early-exponential phase cells to digestive enzymes from hepatopancreas of Helix pomatia. The orientation of cylindric cells within pearl chains was produced by the application of inhomogenous alternating electric fields.
